About ARC’TERYX

Founded in 1991 by climbers from North Vancouver who wanted to make a superior climbing harness, Arc’teryx now makes equipment, clothing and outerwear for the worlds most demanding snow-sport and outdoor activities. Arc’teryx unique brand name and logo refer to the discovery of one of the most complete, pre-historic, reptilian bird skeleton that featured early evolutionary wings and is called the Archaeopteryx lithographica. This mantra of science and discovery in name has created a foundation of building technical product from the core out, which has stuck with Arc’teryx since its inception.

Quick access to the Sea to Sky region in British Columbia between Vancouver and Whistler has been the perfect breeding ground and testing center for Arc’teryx cutting edge design and rigorous testing procedures. A commitment to inspired design from the surrounding mountains is what pushes Arc’teryx designers to not only make the best product for their customers, but for themselves as avid skiers and outdoors enthusiasts.

Superior Tech

Arc’teryx super-light range of Gore-Tex jackets and pants for skiers and snowboarders are considered to be the top in the industry. With a focus on maintaining the waterproofing and warmth needed in Western Canada, Arc’Teryx uses highly durable and extra breathable laminates in regions like their jacket shoulders and hoods, where most precipitation falls on the rider. Jackets from the Whiteline collection, like the Rush, are prime examples of this. Look out for engineered areas in the underarm or around the knee that add mobility and increase breathability, to help remove moisture from the skin.

Much like their distinct skeleton logo that’s synonymous with quality to mountain sports enthusiasts, Arc’teryx aesthetics are unique in their color and simplistic style. Many of Arc’teryx products are bright enough to stick out in the Alpine, but minimalist in there sleek lines and design to be worn for a walk around the city.
